Ingredients

FOR THE MARINADE:

1 teaspoon shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon light soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

FOR THE DISH:

½ cup lean pork (thinly sliced)
1 1/2 cups spiced tofu (thinly sliced)
1 1/2 cups long hot green peppers or bell peppers (thinly sliced; use the long hot green pepper if you can take the heat)
1 cup celery (thinly sliced)
4 tablespoons oil
Salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon light soy sauce

Instructions

Combine the marinade ingredients with the pork and allow to sit for 15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients. Slice the tofu, peppers, and celery.
In the wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Stir-fry the spiced tofu for a couple minutes until browned slightly. Set aside.
Heat another tablespoon of oil and stir fry the peppers for about a minute. Dish out and set aside. Do the same with the celery.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, keeping it over high heat. Stir-fry the marinated pork until brown. Then add in cooked tofu, peppers, and celery. Immediately add salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine, white pepper, and a teaspoon of light soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together for another couple minutes until combined. Plate and serve with rice!
